Darned. I ordered the SJ11 yesterday. Now I see this would be way better for me. I'll be using it on a cycling trip. I need good sound and good low light. This has both. Why didn't I watch this video yesterday. I thought, that's dumb 2 lenses. I don't need that. Didn't realize what it was for. Great video, thank you. Cheers.

Hi! I've been looking for an action camera and i watched almost all of your reviews but i couldn't choose because there are too many options. My budget is around 125$. I would use it for fishing videos so the video quality is very important. Can you reccommend a camera that can record in real 4k?

[Adriana]

Impressive recordings at night. I like it!

[sambl.gadgets]

Can you please do a comparison video in low light with another action camera?

[Chemnitzer]

Very nice review, thank you! I see, the stabilisation seems to be on pair with the SJ6 Legend or even a bit worse (what is quite disappointing in 2024), low light performance is really impressive (although the IS should be rather turned off then as it creates motion blur; but, on the other hand, even the newest GoPro stabilisation is unusable in low light conditions), but I also see, the camera has pretty severe problems with stabilisation during panning - as can be seen at e.g. 6:46 or 7:23. My SJ6 also produces small jumps at the beginning of panning quite often, but not as pronounced as the SJ20. I hope it can be cured with a firmware update.

Great review! It is noticeable that the processor is a little weak and has difficulty stabilizing. At the same time, the night video is quite dim and that’s good!

[slawomirb]

Nice pronunciation, really :D And good cam test. Now I dont regret buying used GoPro11 for bike riding.

[yakubyudho]

What is the camera name of shoot for your intro ? Plaease answer very good quality

[Techworldreviews]

I think by now SJCAM needs to be banned from producing cameras all together. Unacceptable quality for 2024

[ViewerSonic]

Great review and the first actual test I have seen that is not by SJCAM them selves! I have a few older SJCAM models and they are always great value for money. This one caught my eye for the low light capability, it would be interesting to se how well it picks up the night sky and stars. I might be interested to buy one mostly for night time lapse videos for something like northern lights and stars if it can handle that.

Still Ace pro king of low light .. pure video

[josephwilliams]

Can the night vision work in almost pitch black with an additional infrared light?

[dinucatalinu]

It is just me, or the camera it is skipping some frames? When you move in circle on the beach is very visibile some freezing frames. And at the nighttime recording i can tell that stabilization is poor, and also i can see freezing frames.

Good night recording, but the stabilization not so much

[FrankTippke]

I have the SJCAM SJ11. If the stabilization is comparable to the SJ11 everything is good. There are a few videos with the SJ11 on my channel.

[JulesVerneReyes]

Everything's okay if your footage is just straight on but it falls apart once you start panning left or right. The rolling shutter jelly effect is so bad that it can make you feel dizzy watching on a large screen, such as on your TV. But good job on the review.

[ЛеонидПопов-ощ]

Спасибо, хорошее видео, очень понятно.
❤❤❤!

Can you help me by telling me what is the maximum memory cad for sj20? I only have 1tb micro sd and it seems like its not capable of handling 1tb.. i did some search and some says just. 64gb some says 128gb is max some says 256gb and some says 512gb. I dont know which one if true. I dont want to buy multiple micro sd for me to do a trial and error. 😂😂😂😂 hope you can help.

[KitchenwithYano]

My battery pack monopod is no charging my sj20 😢😢😢 though the buttons works.

Thanks for the review...but if you ride on a bike (scooter), never poit down - no camera will give good video footage showing stabilization that way. Night video looks pretty good, but has some blury jumps, and is not smooth - it would be good to compare night video vs akaso brave 7le, or sjcam sj11 active....same happens when panning. Looks like the chipset is a bit short. The fact that it has an unconventional external battery sucks!..it lacks the posibility of buying more batteries and charge them, for longer trips and videos. You dont mention how long the battery lasts also. Its great to have these reviews, but they could be better or more complete.
